SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, a group of well-known figures from the world of entertainment and business have teamed up with philanthropist Ray Dalio and TisBest Philanthropy, a charity gift card organization, to #RedefineGifting this holiday season by giving away another 20,000 $50 TisBest Charity Gift Cards ($1 million worth) to the public.
Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, CBS This Morning’s Gayle King, host of ‘The Dr. Oz Show’ Dr. Mehmet Oz, Thrive Global founder and CEO Arianna Huffington, investor and philanthropist Paul Tudor Jones, Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom, author and podcast host Jay Shetty, and singer-songwriter Jewel Kilcher have all joined Ray Dalio and TisBest’s movement to #RedefineGifting to help others experience first-hand the power and joy of charitable giving.
TisBest Charity Gift Cards work like any other gift card, except they allow recipients to experience the power of giving by donating 100% of the card’s value to charities of their choice. Through #RedefineGifting, anyone can claim one of the 20,000 free $50 charity gift cards and immediately donate to a charity they want to support—and with more than 1.5 million U.S.-registered charities to choose from, there’s something for everyone who receives a TisBest Charity Gift Card.
This announcement marks the second #RedefineGifting giveaway this year: on November 18, Dalio and TisBest gave away another 20,000 $50 charity gift cards worth $1 million.
“In November, 20,000 good people who were eager to be charitable grabbed one of our $50 charity gift cards and experienced what it’s like to receive this uniquely meaningful gift. I’m so grateful that this great group of folks stepped up to help us make this available once again before the holidays,” said Ray Dalio, investor and philanthropist. “With #RedefineGifting, my hope is that this great kind of gift will catch fire and replace some of the wasteful giving that happens each year. Imagine what a huge impact just a small shift toward charity would have at this time year—and how much more in keeping with the holiday spirit it would be!”
These charity gift card giveaways also build on last year’s #RedefineGifting impact—in 2020, a similar group of figures joined Dalio and TisBest—including Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Dr. Oz, Gayle King, Arianna Huffington, Kevin Systrom, Jay Shetty, and others—to give away $2 million worth of TisBest Charity Gift Cards to more than 30,000 people to help them donate to their favorite charities.
“We’re so grateful to have such generous donors join us in this movement to #RedefineGifting and a kind-hearted community of charitable people to make a difference with us,” said Simeon Cathey, managing director and co-founder of TisBest Philanthropy. “We always like to point out that the amount of money given towards just candy gifting over the holidays is greater than the annual budgets of The American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, and Habitat for Humanity combined. With #RedefineGifting, we help others experience the joy of receiving a charitable gift rather than a traditional one, and hope they consider giving charitable gifts to friends, families, and colleagues. Together we can #RedefineGifting and spread more good deeds in the world.”

About TisBest Philanthropy
TisBest Philanthropy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging others to give gifts of good, rather than gifts of stuff. TisBest created charity gift cards to do just that. TisBest Charity Gift Cards work like conventional gift cards, with one meaningful exception: the recipient "spends" the card by choosing which charity to support with the funds. Since its founding in 2007, TisBest has helped hundreds of thousands of individuals make the world a better place through gifting, resulting in over $42 million in donations to charity. The charity gift cards are customizable and come in any amount between $10-$5,000. Purchasers can choose to send a biodegradable plastic card by mail, print a card at home, or send an e-card directly to their gift recipients.
TisBest and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” also recently launched a partnership and premiered an original digital series on Ellen Digital’s superbrand hub, “smile,” dedicated to uplifting and heartwarming stories celebrating everyday heroes doing good for others. Additionally, this holiday season, “smile” will also feature weekly themed gift guides as a resource to inform and encourage ELLEN fans to give back through charitable organizations.
